Typical port time

Hello there,

 

I bought a Pay Monthly SIM on the 25th and I supplied the PAC code from my previous network to keep my number.  The switch did not work on the 27/12/2019 port date and it is now due tomorrow, on the 02/01/2020. 

 

At what time does the switch take place?  Is there a typical time I should expect it to happen or could it happen at any time?

 

Thank you

It could happen at anytime but usually early morning.

Once the old sim has switched off you need to keep booting the new sim.
